    Calculation

    A nurse is reviewing instructions with an adolescent client who is to take calcium carbonate 1,300 mg PO daily. After reviewing the medication label below, the nurse should instruct the client that one tablet contains how many mg of calcium carbonate? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step by step calculation: Plug in the values: 1 tablet contains 650 mg of calcium carbonate. Perform the calculations: 1 tablet / 650 mg = 1 tablet / x mg Solve for x: Cross-multiply: 650 mg x 1 tablet = 1 tablet x x mg Rounding and final answer: x = 650 mg.
